Workshop build, Melbourne, Australia.

Looks pretty good to me. However, I know how pictures can be deceiving. I wish I had as much workbench space as you do. Ahh who am I kidding, it would probably mean just more clutter laying around. :lol You're place looks real clean for sure. Where is all your stuff? Hiding behind the camera? :lol Holy sh*t its 3 in the morning, I better get to bed...

 

[andyaus]

That is an early pic before the shelves and gear went in, I do like the colour but it's just to dark. Yeah it's great to have the bench space and I'm good at being organised so easy to keep clean.

Ok so I picked up my new Motorcycle work tabke tonight and i'm stoked with it I slid the cafe racer i'm building onto it as soon as I got home and I think I can feel some motivation coming on Also I picked up 3 more boards like I used for my bench tops and i'll make large single doors for my work benches out of them once I cut them to fit between the posts. Also I think now I should intall the 2x5' fluro lights for the lifter work area

 

[andyaus]

It seems getting the new lift has helped my motivation to complete outstanding jobs

Tonight I cut down the bench on the left from 3mtrs to 1.6mtrs, this gives me much better access to the compressor inclosure

I also moved the Yamaha up onto the bench so that it's out of the way until it's time for it to be rebuilt.

I also placed the panels that I'm thinking of making doors for the benches with around the shop to get a feel for the idea what do you think?

I like it a lot. Is that a Harbor Freight table with a custom front wheel clamp? Looks pretty tough!

It is a similar unit, likely same Chinese manufacturer, as HF, and I have seen versions with that wheel clamp.

Interesting.

 

[andyaus]

So the excitement continues I picked up some 1.5mtr flruo's off ebay Aug/Sept last year, So tonight on my way home I grabbed some new tubes and starters for them, then installed everything when I got home. I wired them up to their own switch and now they create a nice Halo of light around the bike for working

So that brings the total to 12 fluro's (9 of them doubles) and 7 baton lights....

It's Branded Millers Falls but is most likely made in China, The rated weight for this model is 450kg and you can pick them up on ebay for $450 - $500. I got this for the sweet price of $260

Ok, now that is cool! That would add really neat effects for picture taking as well.

 

[andyaus]

Thanks DW .

Ok so after checking out a few of your garages I came to realize that the colours in mine were very plain Well i've cured that on 1 side of my shed so far and with the completion of display shelving. After shortening the bench for better access to my compressor on the other side with tv area above too
anyway here's where i'm at so far...cheers andy..

 

[Derrickwade]

You've been busy! The RC display was a great idea. Those look like fun. Did you ever figure out a quote to put in the caption of that one poster?

Yeah I had actually finished it with the Honda wings, but it didn't look right I was given the idea to put a green $ sign in there instead and I think this will look sweet i'm in the process of doing it now, i've undercoated it and i'm waiting to draw out the symbol

 

[Derrickwade]

Lol. I never know about you Ausies.

 

[andyaus]

I like what you have built mate, and i really like that light set up over the bike, I think the colour change has stepped it up a notch or two.

[andyaus]

Got another little job taken care of i've moved the gear off the shelf and into the rack where it belongs

 

[andyaus]

Well I've made it to half way laying the deck boards as you can see on the right there is a cut out ready for the permanent seating frame to be built + the step from the garage is in, just need to finish triming it with some small boards. I also managed to pull down the the old veranda ready to start preparations for the new c-channel perlin which means no more post's

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

That's a nice deck mate, great entertainment area there.

 

[1/2 Cup]

Its all coming along nicely.

Cheers yeah it's an entertainer all right and since it's as big as a ships deck, we plan on having a nautical / Hawaiian themed party to launch it

 

[andyaus]

Its all coming along nicely.

Thanks mate, 600lm of decking boards and 2500 screws and i'm only half way but its worth it. cheers andy.

 

[andyaus]

my latest edition to the shop

 

[Playwme]

That's a big deck. Are they pine decking boards? What sort of oil are you going to use?

 

[Derrickwade]

Congrats on the new FZ! Looks pretty sharp!

Thanks yip it's pine, unfortunately with the size we couldn't afford $6000+ for hardwood not sure about the oil/stain/sealer yet, i'm open to ideas

 

[andyaus]

Cheers mate I'm super stoked with it, even though i've got it, work is so busy that I probably won't get to ride till next weekend

I hear ya, I have to work the next 16 days straight. On the bright side, the weather is finally starting to warm enough to start riding to work again.

 

[andyaus]

Ok so i'm going to paint an Indian mc logo on the wall to the left of the door, above the bench. The queston is Which design? what do you all think

 

[1/2 Cup]

They all look good, my preference would be the second logo "Indian MOTORCYCLE". Size will matter, go as large as you can to have maximum impact.
I am looking to do something similar with the ford logo and some wall highlight stripes.

 

[andyaus]

Size will matter, go as large as you can to have maximum impact

Yeah it will be as wide as the bench which is 3 meters

 

[andyaus]

Sneak peak of the outline for the logo

Nice space, awesome work on everything! love the bikes...COOL MAN CAVE!!!


I put my wife on a shelf once but i couldn't get her to stay! whats your secret?

 

[Derrickwade]

Looking good Andy, I can't wait to see it. Are you free handing it or using a projector?

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

Looking good mate, so is that a standard design or have you combined two together to make that design.
